Chula Vista is not really a tourist haven, but there are a few things here that would attract a tourist.  J Street marina is a small marina with a couple of nice restaurants and several family friendly parks along the banks of the Bay at it's south end.  There is also a boat ramp to launch sail boats/motor boats.   Third Avenue, downtown is a bit depressed from the economy, but still has that "Main Street U.S.A." ambiance.  Chula Vista Center is the main ares for shopping.  The Living Coast Discovery Center is located along the Bay and is a marsh land preserve with displays, petting pools, a book store and nature trail. In the southeast section of Chula Visit is the  Sleep Train Ampitheater and Aquatic San Diego, water park.  Both large venues and unique in San Diego County.  East of  downtown there are  quite a few new neighborhoods that offer nice shopping and dining.  Otay Ranch Town Center is a charming shopping and dining center that is easily reached by public transportation, but has a huge parking lot with plenty of free parking.
